The Oscar bump that Parasite/ Green Book received suggest that people paid attention to Oscar. Just many of them couldn't care less to watch the entire show.

Sad for BoP, it is a well made solid entertaining flick but its run has been meh. Maybe a movie about Harley Quinn break up with Joker is too dark for a Valentine season moviegoing

looks like Wuhan virus has started significantly affecting Italy now.

Will Oscar have another non-English film in the best picture lineup for the 3rd consecutive year?? It is tricky to say given all the potential non-english are pretty buzzless pre-release stage.

the only pixar's film in the past 10 years that can recall its early days greatness was IO & Toy story3, The rest are just serviceable and enjoyable flick,

I have to revise downward its number. The spread of coronavirus is getting worse in Japan, it will eventually bite into box office number if Japanese government fail to contain the virus. To the point that, Olympics 2020 is in danger

Souh korea & Japan covid quickly spiraling upward

A perfect moment as Parasite marketing tool. His comment will only create more buzz and got more people curious about the film

The release date looks very Oscar baity

Jumanji & Parasite both again prove legs matter

The Best Picture winner sold 178,000 admissions over the weekend frame across its new screen count of 277, bringing its cumulative admissions up to 1.78 million. Expect another strong week at the box-office, with the possibility of another weekly increase in its seventh week of release. We'll have to wait a few more weeks to see when it peaks and begins to decline before giving an accurate total projection, but a finish around ¥4 billion ($35-40 million) is likely, but it could go higher. >1917 had to settle for a second place debut, selling 124,000 admissions over the weekend across 353 screens; it sold 178,102 admissions over its first three-days in release. This is a so-so debut, one that was likely deflated by losing out on any major Oscar wins last Sunday. It'll have good weekday business due to attracting an older audience, but I also don't believe legs will be anything amazing since Parasite has really overshadowed it. It'll be aiming for a total around the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone. >Howling Village held spectacularly well in its sophomore frame. Its opening weekend was impressive and certainly welcomed by distributor Toei, but this second weekend is more impressive and should allow the film to reach the ¥1 billion ($10 million) milestone now. >Frozen II held strong in its thirteenth-weekend of release, and has now become the seventeenth-highest grossing film of all-time, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody. Expect a total between ¥13.3-13.4 billion ($122/123 million). I know that its performance is being written off as disappointing, even "embarrassing", and I will agree that it's underwhelming, but it's far from an embarrassing performance. A 40% drop-off (giving it ¥15/16 billion) was very expected as a follow-up to a phenomenon, which have always dropped off by that much, so a 47/48% decline, while higher than expected, isn't "sad" and can certainly be attributed to its poor November release date, 6-weeks out from any holiday in the market. >Cats experienced another rough drop this weekend, and I don't believe Japan will lay claim as its biggest overseas market (currently the U.K.) now. Still, given how poorly received and how awful its numbers were everywhere else, a total a bit above ¥1.3 billion ($12 million) is respectable in that regard. I don't think another attempt at a Cats adaptation will be in the works for quite some time, but hopefully Hollywood (or whoever) does it differently next time--there's easy money to be made from it in the market. >My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, now outside of the Top 15 in its ninth-weekend of release, surpassed the total of its predecessor over the weekend and has sold 1.31 million admissions.

That 2.8k PTA from 2000 locations surely is enough to sustain another round of expansion or more showtimes

Another huge win for foreign language film from Neon. This actually translate to 22.5k PTA. this is another my top film of the year, it may not be as crowd-pleasing like parasite, but definitely a masterpiece

I'm simply tossing out a 200% increase, but given how high of a percentage we're taking here, it will certainly vary. Its Friday was up over 300% compared to last week, and its Saturday pre-sales are up 250% versus last Saturday. So the weekend increase should come in below both of those percentages, but it's going to be huge--150%, at a minimum, should be guaranteed. >1917 is looking to debut in a solid second place, but one obviously has to wonder just how well it would have opened--and later performed--had it won the big Oscars over Parasite just last Sunday. And do note since the film will very likely appeal heavily toward adult/senior audiences, the weekdays are where it'll play best. And finally, I expanded the Top 10 to a Top 12 for this Weekend Forecast since the tenth-place position is pretty open this weekend. Kaiji: Final Game should take it, but it seems like it'll have a heavy drop this weekend, so the Man With a Mission documentary, despite being a limited release, could bump it off (its pre-sales are pretty good, too).

oh my god, I love Wes film, the trailer seem great!!! Can't wait to see this!

In the past 10 years, only The king speech, The artist , green book did more than 10m post-Oscar best picture win, in the last decade however, 6 of the Oscar winner did more than 10m with Chicago, USD1m Baby, and Slumdog Millionaire posted 30m or even 40m post-Oscar, although Chicago and USD1m baby are late-December release. before people shout out loud OSCAR is no longer irrelevant, it just further prove that how moviegoing experience have changed. People just don't think non-action/non-VFX driven are big screen-worthy. Art theaters are struggling since people increasingly agree that watching drama-like film at home make no difference from theater.

Let them fail until they obey theatrical exclusive window.

If Baahubali 2 can do 20m in NA without any Oscar buzz and distributed by non-USA distributor with its main audience are Indian dispora, An indian film starring Aamir Klhan, Shah Khan & Irfan Khanm with 99% RT score and A+ cinemascore, plus multiple Oscar win including best picture. would easily double what parasite did in NA or even approaching 100m. Not to mention the potential near 600m worldwide gross 125m India + 250 China gross + 100m NA gross + 100m from rest of the world

Making me wonder why can't a film release two version , PG13 and R concurrently in the theater.

Parasite jumps around 556% to number 1 position on Holiday Tuesday

With oscar win, the film will be widely re-released in my country. It is nationwide release with multiple showtime all day long, and guess what?? The film has been in theater for 4 months plus but the occupy rate is as high as new release like BoP
